Would painting your vehicle with bed liner be considered vehicle modification? Would it be illegal in the street classes?

I've seen some off road cars/trucks have it done

Theres a kid around here with an old model accord with it, you are able to get it done at any autobody shop

If it was for cosmetic then it should be legal IMO

If I had to guess I would say it would not be allowed but I always like to steer towards the cautious side with stuff like this. I also don't like to guess so figured I'd ask for a more official word.

It would be a sound deadener or sorts. NOT legal IMO.

I disagree... people have said that you can't use "non sound deadening" products as a deadener within the vehicle because that's not its intended purpose.

Why does it suddenly change in definition on the exterior? (somethign that isn't a deadener now IS beause it's on the outside of the car)

Now, if you want to argue that it's because bed liner is a structural reinfocement then we can discuss that one but to say it's illegal because it's a deadener is just silly.

i think bedliner on the metal skin of the vehicle cabin should be considered illegal. on the hood, rims, or separately mounted bumper it could be ok

Not crappy paint job. Crappy body work. They had to lay down 84,782 coats of color to cover it [Mad] [Wink]

Murilo, what is you car painted with? It looked quite interesting. It was a rough mat finish like a marine enamel or some sort of industrial truck frame paint. Not bashing, just curious.

I have no idea, I asked to my partner to paint it fat black and when I saw the car was like that, it is a black with a bit of texture, some guys were telling me if you spray paint and burn it with a torch on the moment you are painting you can do the same.

I loved it, though.

It almost has that rat rod look. All you need are some red pinstripes and coker tires.
